When can I stay again? this apartment is absolutely fantastic and a pleasure to stay in. This was…read moremy first visit to the city of Cambridge and this apartment is ideally located near the river Cam to the north of the city so around a 10 minute stroll from the historic centre. Chris the host is so accommodating! This is a self catering apartment and yet on arrival there is bread,cereals,milk and orange juice so that's breakfast coveted. There is also free wifi and a brochure with lots of useful information in about the city. He communicated with me via email/text from the initial booking and was very understanding when I arrived over an hour late to pick up the keys due to signalling difficulties at Peterborough. Everything in the flat is of a high standard from the towels to the bedding. It is also the comfiest bed I've slept in! The size is impressive and way better than you would ever get in a hotel suite. All I can say is this would be my number one choice on return to the city!

However, we were offered an alternative property in Bruxby St. What a result! Extremely helpful (nothing was too much trouble), excellent communication, and the property was very well-equipped, comfortable and clean. My only reservation in strongly recommending is that we may find fully booked when we require again.

Pretty good pub on the main road into Thrapston…read more Food is not too bad, the times we have eaten there, with a fairly standard menu. I understand they also provide loadging with a few purpose built cabins to the rear of the pub. Never stayed there so not sure of the quality. Reasonably priced food although the beer prices seem to have shot up in recent months. Good for a Sunday dinner with the parents or a few sharpeners after work on a Friday. Overall decent village pub.

Very good pub, a nice cosy little country pub, it has seating areas outside in the large garden!…read moreThey have a restaurant which does food all day everyday and through the evening. They have a games room which has a pool table and a juke box. The staff are very friendly and kind. The food is fab and excellent value for money. I had a chicken burger and chips which cost me £6.95. Great!

The accomodation is very nice, however the management is rather picky when it comes to cleaning and…read moredamage. When you move in you have to fill in an itinery of what is damaged etc and you have 48hrs to do this but as the weeks go by you notice things you didnt notice before and so you will have to pay for this if they see the damage or whatever, so i'd suggest you do a very thorough check. There are approximately 38 double rooms i believe the rest are single, I have have a double room and it is bigger than my room at home its huge, all rooms are ensuite and the flats are in block of 6, each floor has 2 or 3 flats on them. Overall the staff are helpful, but can be funny at times, also you cannot get post on a saturday as the reception is not open on a saturday.

Little hamlets and villages are scattered all around this lovely part of the English countryside…read more You can drive down narrow lanes and somehow keep coming back to where you started from or get completely lost and end up picking blackberries from roadside bushes, and bluebells in the verdant woods which some say are part of the great forest of Arden stretching all the way down in a swathe from Nottingham - perhaps you might get surprised by Robin Hood and his merry men! Be sure to pack a picnic hamper with your favourite foods so you can stop in some idyllic setting to enjoy the peace and quiet and beauty that this part of the world offers to those who are willing to explore and let their imaginations run wild. After all, this is Tolkien country where the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings were written, where JRR Tolkien himself lived and was inspired to write. Shakespeare spent the latter part of his life in London but much of his inspiration came from his early days in middle England. His mother, Mary Arden, had a little cottage in Wilmcote just 3 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon so the bard may have created many of his writings while walking the leafy lanes. Nowadays Pear Tree Cottage set in 3 acres of gardens is a lovely place to stay in the heart of Wilmcote. This once B&B, now offers 2 lovely furnished flats for stays of any period. The owners, Philip and his charming lady, Janice,take care of you and your needs in a most caring way, and you will arrive to find the kitchen stocked with cafetiere coffee, hovis bread, good english butter, fresh milk and other groceries. You can sit in the extensive garden and enjoy twilight glasses of wine and chat to your heart's content. Just down the road a bit, is the post office cum grocery where shelves are stocked with chocolate, biscuits, wine, bread, fresh meats delivered daily and all the wonderful country foods and fruit your heart can imagine. It is only a 3minute walk to the local station where you can hop on train for a 5 minute run to Stratford any time of day or night. You can actually walk along the barge paths straight into Stratford upon Avon to shop and eat and see live Shakespeare at its best. Nearby Birmingham is a must for serious shoppers. In this the second largest city in the UK, besides a tempting array of restaurants, museums and art galleries, you can certainly 'shop till you drop!' It is a most convenient place to travel to as there is an international airport and fast trains from London will get you there easily. It is all there for you to enjoy and as I have ended my ramblings many times before, "you just have to DO IT".

I used to love coming camping here when I was younger and would take between 2 and 6 weekend trips every year between Easter and September. I had some of my best Holiday's here. I would spent the daytime playing in one of the many parks, in the outdoor pool or floating on the River in my Dinghy. Then the evenings head out to the funfair where I would pay 50p for unlimited rides on the giant slide running up the stairs with my mat until it felt like my legs would fall off and then spend ages watching the ladies make hot fresh Doughnuts before then having eating contests with my friends (who could eat a whole Donut without licking their lips?). But now it's completely different. the peddle boats available for all ages on Willow Lake are now replaced with Jet Ski's which of course are height limited, all of the parks are looking a lot more sparse than they used to (done away with almost everything classed as 'dangerous' through fear of law suit?) the Funfair just isn't what it used to be and the outdoor pool is gone. Instead there is this huge monstrosity that is ''The Venue' with indoor pool, arcade machines and a snooty restaurant. Maybe I'm just getting old and do not understand the need for everything to be modernized but in my eyes you come to Billing for camping and that means cooking on a gas burner for Breakfast / Dinner, taking walks around the beautiful grounds and generally getting back to basics. That being said they do still have to Go Karts here which always had the loudest sound system you could hear it halfway over the park (not now though) and the Car Show is still an annual event.

Unfortunately there were storms overnight, no big deal in a 'van but for some reason the water control system broke down, the whole flood-plain flooded and we woke up to see a foot deep lake surrounding us! After carring my wife to the car, she wasn't keen on the possibility of worms touching her feet whilst wading, we followed the bin bags, marking water logged the road, we went home :) Campers nearer the river were less fortunate.
